Back Bar Fridges
An upright back bar fridge is a full-height bottle display cabinet, around 1800mm tall, built to stand against the back wall of the bar and turn chilled stock into a visible display behind the servery. Where undercounter bar fridges (single, double and triple door) keep bottles below the counter, an upright back bar puts your best sellers at eye level — faster restocking, easier stock checks, and the fridge doubles as merchandising.
Key specifications
Typical capacities run 300-500 litres gross, with external widths from 900mm to 1800mm and heights around 1800-1850mm. Running at +2 to +8°C on a standard 13A socket, most models use R290 refrigerant, sit around 45-55dB, and come with glass display doors, adjustable shelves and LED lighting to make labels do the selling.

Back Bar Fridges — FAQs
Why choose an upright back bar fridge over an undercounter bar fridge?
Uprights hold considerably more stock in the same floor width and display it at eye level, suiting busy venues where the back wall works as both storage and merchandising. Undercounter units suit bars where wall space is taken by optics and mirrors.
Do upright back bar fridges come with sliding doors?
Many do — sliding glass doors save space in tight service runs where a hinged door would swing into a walkway.
Brands typically seen in this space include Infrico and Gamko, with Polar and Blizzard also represented, suited to busy pub and hotel bars needing high-volume bottle access without blocking staff movement.
